Hello and welcome to LeagueUnlimited's coverage of Super Saturday and first up we are at Suncorp as the Broncos prepare to take on the Knights in an essentially meaningless game; Newcastle are guaranteed a finals berth and Brisbane have been out of the running for quite some time. Nonetheless, Brisbane have experienced a resurgence of sorts recently, while the Knights will be looking to continue momentum into the finals. The Broncos are 1-17, while the Knights are resting Mitch Barnett and Jacob Saifiti, which sees Jack Johns and Josh King start as well as Simi Sasagi and Tex Hoy come into the side. Kickoff is imminent
